There are different setups posted if you search, but generally put stronger grip tires in the front, and set the front suspension softer than the rear(not too much cuz it'll kill balance and have weird effects). I don't think you can completely kill understeer in any car unless you get something that just spins way too easily which may be even harder to control.

if you need more drifting, set the torque balance to be 0:100(front/rear).

either way you should brake more with a GC8 than say a cappucinno for example because it's 4wd and heavier. and you need to work on skill and adapting to your car. I personally am not a fan of 4wd cars.

yes some of them are a real ^&*(* to drive, but i tuned my R34 for drift and it drifts like an fr now

me personally would like a drifting AWD, because its more fun when you drift in my opinion, anyway my sister is on the ps2 so cant do it now lol

Check out the Subaru Impreza Challenge in the Challenges section - or there might be some in the Tuning section.

I can give a setup for the Ver.3 tomorrow.
Do you want drift or grip?

Devilish Drifter · **Posted:** Fri Oct 23, 2009 4:28 am

drift. for me its drift all the way, grip is not an option, even though i have basically lost 20 races because they bump me when i am drifting lol
yer drift setup would be good thanks

txrdriftking · **Posted:** Sat Oct 24, 2009 4:48 pm

actually, the main remedy I've seen for the understeer problem is to adjust the torque distribution so that it's 3/7 (Front/Rear) and the front suspension and ride height -1.
I sold the Subaru I had (totally forgot I did that) and lost the setup.
I thibk I have the basic setup though due to my 22B-STI's drift-oriented tuning.
By the way, what track is it that you are going to be drifting on?
It does matter for the Subarus.

Nikko, you mean.
Try this:

irohazaka would be the wrong road, since it's not in this game. irohazaka is the downhill 1 way touge road in real life, while this game only has the Nikko uphill section that you can drive both ways on. both roads are connected in real life and part of mt. Nikko

Devilish Drifter · **Posted:** Thu Oct 29, 2009 4:07 am

oh ok, lol then i was wrong in the first place lol

yeah, iroha is a mad course. Why dont they put it in the game? Licensing issues or something???

hmm true, true. whe should beat the whole game without beating a twenty master, then go through and sort of recognize a pattern of which courses they appear on.

that would help a shitload of people lol

It's randomly generated.
There's no set tracks they will appear on, since my 1st and 2nd gamesaves' logs for the twenty masters are totally different.
I'm only keeping a log of the sponsors (they don't change.)
Here are the locations/weater conditions of the last 5 I've met:

Hope these help.

Devilish Drifter · **Posted:** Wed Nov 18, 2009 6:04 am

made one myself (with help from txrdriftking)

Car: Subaru Impreza WRX STi GDB V-Limited (i like this model)

Spoiler:

finally, its a long ass (probably coz i spaced it out)

please try and get back to me with some feedback
would greatly appreciate it, thanks

Intriguing.
Nice job on it.
It was a little hard to adjust to since I've been drifting the same cars over and over again, but it works.
BTW it works for most of the other Subaru STI's as well.
The Legacies are a different story.

Devilish Drifter · **Posted:** Wed Nov 18, 2009 10:45 pm

hmm took me about 30 laps of Nikko to finish it

txrdriftking · **Posted:** Thu Nov 19, 2009 3:16 pm

Wow.
that's a lot.

Devilish Drifter · **Posted:** Thu Nov 19, 2009 7:29 pm

yes. it is. you posted the basic setup on the 27 of October, and i finished it on like the 18th of November.

i didnt do the thirty laps in about 1 night

txrdriftking · **Posted:** Sat Nov 21, 2009 11:54 am

No, in total, I meant.
Normally it takes me 3 tries to find out how it works, since most of my setups are changes to the ones made by why_spyder.

Devilish Drifter · **Posted:** Sat Nov 21, 2009 3:33 pm

yeah. i need to drive the car about 5 laps each time i make changes, just to get used to it, so i dont jump in and drive

txrdriftking · **Posted:** Mon Nov 23, 2009 2:12 pm

The Mazda RX-8 setup I created took at least 20 laps of Happogahra (uphill) because I like to have my setups perfect, and it wasn't perfect to begin with. (No offense meant, why.
